About Us

European Beginnings

Meoded Paint and Plaster roots began in Europe over 40 years ago, inspired by the Italian Renaissance and the master artisans of the period. The timeless beauty and lasting construction of the Venetian plaster materials of the time influenced Meoded’s move to the U.S., where we are the sole manufacturer of authentic lime-based zero VOC wet decorative plasters.

Meoded’s growth in the decorative paint and faux finish trade continues to thrive by adding other unique products such as Venetian Plaster, Metallic Paint, Glitter Paint, Lime Plaster, Cement Plaster, Concrete wall texture, the Sapphire Metallic paint line, Crystal Brush glitter paints and Pearlas Velvet suede finishes. All of our products are eco-friendly and easy to apply. Our reputation is built on the word of mouth from loyal customers who not only trust our high quality products, but also enjoy the friendly environment and support from the knowledgeable and talented team of experts on staff.

Shlomo Meoded, CEO

As the founder of Meoded Paint, Shlomo always had a keen eye for design. Growing up helping his father run the family paint store, he realized he was able to utilize his artistic eye and create beautiful and unique products within the paint industry.

Shlomo studied closely the unique textures and colors available in Europe. With his keen eye and passion for the decorative arts, he began to teach painters the technical and artistic skills of faux finishing. He transformed many paint businesses into thriving specialty paint businesses with clients across the globe.

To grow the decorative paint business, Shlomo set his sights on the growing metropolis of Los Angeles. It is here in the heart of Hollywood that Meoded opened up their 15,000 sq. ft. state of the art showroom and manufacturing facility. Continuing the tradition of training and servicing the artisan craftsman with unique products that are recognized as among the best in the world, is the visionary drive of Shlomo Meoded and his innovative team.
